I was reading journal articles about liver failure caused by Tylenol poisoning. Accidental overdoses can also be called therapeutic misadventures. I thought that wording was hilarious, but on further review, that is sometimes what they are actually called. Hmph!
However, during the course of our game, Mr. Ego-Maniac called another player a bitch and cunt. I came in second after him, of course, and he looked at me and snidely said, "Welcome to second place." He also harassed every turn, made fun of spectators and, in general, made the game a torturous exercise. I left immediately afterward. I'm not in the habit of letting myself be abused and I refuse to start with that ass-hole.
All I kept thinking for the rest of the night, in addition to his being a total prick, was:
For fuck's sake - it's SCRABBLE!

Dear Service Rep,
Thank you for taking my call today. I hope you can understand my frustration with your telling me I can get a free sample and then changing the price to $125 because of it's popularity and then changing the price again to $600 because you don't actually have the reagent in stock and it needs to be found. This is especially frustrating when you indicated that th reagent was already frozen down in a bank.
I especially liked our heated banter over the difference between lupus and my "more specific" request of systemic lupus reagents. I always assumed that they were the same, but I'm willing to learn new things. However, in the future, I would recommend that you don't actually tell your laboratory client that you got your information from a Google search. Calling it a "literature search" would be substantially more reassuring; however, I found that calling your own technical services department would yield the correct information.
I look forward to our continued collaboration.
Sincerely,
TM
